You obviously don’t know anyone with a peanut allergy. My son when he was 6 required 7 Epi pens (adult not chilld size) further iv doses in the hospital and a helicopter ride to children’s ICU. For ONE bite of a cookie. Had he not known something was wrong when it hit his mouth his story may well have ended like this one.
Cross-contamination is a problem....there’s such a thing as “nut dust” In the bakery, it falls on other products that dont actually contain nuts......and contaminates them.
I do not have a peanut allergy (nuts fall under four seprate botanical categories).....but I am violently allergic to other nuts.
I did not eat a nut....but I ate a cookie that was made with other cookies near nuts....and had to be rushed to the hospital.
Your son at 7 was more aware than the 15 year old. Glad he’s ok
Peanut allergy? Or an allergy from the pesticides, rodenticides, and fungicides sprayed on peanuts?
